Love the content especially when randy tells a story “hey man” he turns a little urban when he says that! lol or the “I forgot….” But in all seriousness I hope you get out you definitely got a uphill battle to earn your freedom. I’ll keep you in my prayers….ohhhh yeah I love the way he says month too munfff

the fact Randy is so intelligent with little to no formal education and having been in prison most of his life, is exceptional.
